So, I was wondering... I know what is nipple size in cis-females, so... do we get the same, eventually? I mean, they are about 2x/3x times bigger than before it all started, but still... not ever hardly comparable with cis-female size... Umm... anyone?

Mine are 11mm-12mm. I think they started out microscopic pre-HRT.

Wow... Mine are about 4-5 mm... Can I ask for how long time You have been on HRT?

i think I have about 10mm. Plus aureolas that are freaking huge - like 10 cm or so.

Even more "wow" :) Fun things ahead then? :)

Mine are 1 & 1/4 inches in diameter. Will the nipple size actually increase? That would be great!

3 months HRT & some Fin.

Are we speaking about nipples or aureolas here? ;)

Mine are like 1.5-ish inches. With the nipples (annoyingly they only respond to cold) being maybe 1/4" when they show up.

But... there's a range. A wide wide range.

Aureolas, sorry, I should have stated that.

I bet You wish those were nipples, though ;)

How does that come that all those boobies' threads get a LOT of attention INSTANTLY? :) :) :)

At Thanksgiving dinner yesterday all I could think about was breasts. My one woman cousin my age has D or DD big breasts, huge. The women on both sides of my family had huge breasts. I've got a feeling the same is going to happen to me. It will be interesting by spring time if I'm not ready to live 100% full time. 

Boobs are important, Emely :)

My aureola size is 4-5 inches, that is almost too much ;)
Breast size did not keep up with it though :(

I find it funny - its a unique problem that no one i know of here in Germany ever faces - to grow breasts with HT before being out and "fulltime". Here you have to be fulltime to get HT or you do DIY which is the only way to not be fulltime and have breasts - which is a bd situation in several spects I guess ;)

I think most trans women end up with the nipple and areola size that they would have had if they'd developed as girls, much like breast size; I haven't measured mine, but the nipples are about 4X the size they were when I started, and areolae more like 10X the size.

(My wife is a 36J, with corresponding nipples and areolae, so I swear I'm always going to feel small by comparison!)

cis women have a wide range of nipple/areola sizes, and it's the same for transwomen

Having been involved with naturism over the years (yep, I've been a nudist in my varied past, lapsed for the time being) - I have seen many, many, many breasts... all shapes, sizes, ages, etc. I can vouch for Oriah, there's no standard nipple or areola size and breast size is no predictor - I've seen massive areola on small breasts, tiny, almost non-existent areola on massive breasts. I found that breasts were as distinctive and individual as faces.

Not sure how big mine are exactly but they are definitely starting to look like girl nipples!

Mine have definitely increased in size during the last month.
Nipple double, and areola 25% bigger already ;D

I have puffy nips. I can't even tell half the time. :(

Oh, totally this! Boobies are indeed important and they are important for You are being perceived either. I have some sort of informed consent arrangement with my endo, so at least I get checked medically. But the whole concept of being full time just keeps mistifying and terrifying me. Like, there is a group of multidisciplinary experts which should decide whether I am transsexual or not (and I hope this does not involve being locked up for in-patient expertise in mental hospital anymore...), but I have no idea how they can verify "the existence of stable transsexual personality for two years (F64.0)" without some RLT? And even if they dont - they simply issue a paper with diagnosis and that's it - the State has fulfilled its obligations. From that perspective, if there are things we are better on our own - like getting the HRT and DIY FT/RLT without being pushed or monitored, then perhaps the State should just ignore out existence totally instead of making our lives more complicated?  :)

I personally think, a good timeline is to start HRT and then be out and ask to be socially accepted in the proper gender once the HRT has had some months time to have an effect and then they can do their two year evaluation if they like. Thats how I did it and I liked that approach - get HRT, a few weeks later do what they call "fulltime" or "RLE" - for me it was just happening as I went along. Then went to the psychs for evaluation for a year and then got my letters for name change and SRS. I would not want to have to deal with either - being in "RLT" without HRT nor being on HRT and have to present as male for many months or years after...

I put a toonie (Canadian $2 coin) over top of my nipple and areola lol
It's 5mm larger around than that.

It's pretty big

Long enough! Since '94.

I don't think mine changed much after five years. I did have BA after five years, but don't know the impact that had. I think you'll all get there given time.

mine have nearly doubled in size since starting. they were puffy at first then everything began to grow, and itch! alot!

Mine are at least 2-3x the size that they were before I started. They still surprise me now and then, like when I get out of a hot shower and they get puffy and really big.

Nipples:
"The average projection and size of human female nipples is slightly more than 3/8 of an inch (10mm)."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nipple (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nipple)

Areola:
"Sexually mature women have an average of 38.1 mm (1.5 in), but sizes range up to 100 mm (4 in) or greater."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Areola (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Areola)

My nipples are 1/2 inch and areola are 1 1/2 inches.

Just to be able to throw something in here, I'll post my starting sizes:

Pre-HRT:
nipple diameter - 1/4"
nipple projection - 1/16"
areola diameter (width) - 1" left, 1-1/8" right

  As you can see, the right was slightly larger always.  I don't know if it is coincidence then that the 'bigger sister' is the one that's been making more 'noise' than the other now that they are starting to respond to HRT.  Perhaps she will get ahead and stay ahead but I'd really prefer to be even.  They're both slightly sore only in the nipple right now and the right one is slightly firm like as if it was cold.

Actually nipple/areola size varies quite a bit among cis females and among the public in general  :)  I've noticed that mine have gradually grown larger over the past few years

my areola have gotten much bigger in the last month

I currently have slightly over 1/4" nipples, and 1" aureola (when it's warm. In the cold they shrink right down to the size of the nipples)

Although I wouldn't be upset if my nipples only got slightly larger. I really want my aureola to get bigger. As I've only been on HRT for 2 1/2 weeks, I'm sure what changes will happen will happen in time. But, I'm really wishing I had a better expectation of timeline.

ain't that a hoot! I used the toonie test too, but I found that you have to be in a warm room ;) At "rest" I'm slightly larger in diameter than a toonie after 3 months HRT.
